Baking - I once baked. I love when other people bake. I truly admire people who bake. But I don't bake.

Loading and un-loading the dishwasher - why? Why not just use the clean dishes and pile them up in the sink until the dishwasher is empty and the sink is full, and then just put them back in the dishwasher. What's the point of putting the dishes in the cabinet?

Putting away my clean clothes -- why not just live out of the laundry basket? Take 'em out, throw 'em back in.

Spending a lot of time on my hair - once upon a time I ironed it on an ironing board (in the age before blow dryers), wrapped it in orange juice cans -- anything to straighten it out. No more. I'm au-natural baby!

Backpacking through Europe, traveling without reservations and just seeing what will happen, roughing it... I did a lot of that as a teen and young adult. I don't need a swimming pool, but at least give me a comfy bed and at least one pillow!

Clubbing/bar hopping/partying like it's 1999. A good night's sleep trumps those in my book.

i love it that some of us are finally at the age where we can say "no" to some of the things we once did and some things that, at this point, we will never do. your artwork is so vibrant and colorful - a treat for the eyes.

I'm in awe over a couple of things on your list! You've lived some kind of life, and I have to agree! I wish I could teach my kids a thing or two about what is really important in life, but alas they have to learn for themselves ultimately! Your journal page is fabulous, vibrant, and reading between the lines of the sentiment is the best part for me! Gorgeous!

I love you list! I totally agree with #2 but I won't let Emma see it (since it's her job to unload it). You must have so many stories from backpacking in Europe as a teen! My been there done it is making the bed- why? I am just going to mess it up and nobody sees our bedroom but immediate family...

You rock you shocking girl you!!!!I only put stuff away when I can use the top of my desk!And the mile high club....I love that you A) know what it is and B) have rated it!(Used to iron my hair too!)Lynn

isn't it amazing how we are surrounded by opposite opportunities...the ironic ones...stand still in order to move forward.stop yelling so you can be heard...stop struggling in order to be free. i love the art and i love how you 'get it'. enjoy and keep sharing. and thank you
